So, despite my spectacular failure last year, I am once again taking on National Novel Editing Month.
At least I won’t be battling a World of Warcraft addiction this year.

The picture I intended to use this week didn’t turn out. It was quite terrible, actually, so here’s one from this summer instead. (And yes, I back-dated this entry because I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. This has not been my week.)

“The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.”

Reading: Two Murders in My Double Life by Josef Skvorecky

Two Murders in My Double Life by Josef Skvorecky Two murders. Two crimes. Two worlds, interlocked. The husband of a math professor at a fictional Mississauga college is found murdered in his home on a stormy night straight out of stock horror-movie footage. The only clues: a piece of broken-off nail polish and a button ripped from a Harris tweed jacket. Meanwhile, the wife of an American Lit prof at the same campus slowly drinks herself to death after being outed as a collaborator under Czechoslovakia’s former Communist regime. |

“Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?”
